nd express it in their creative paintings. All are actively exhibiting their works in various places Bali and overseas.

The most senior painter is I Dewa Putu Mokoh, 75 years old. He was a student of I Gusti Ket
ut Kobot, whose work was influenced by Rudolf Bonnet (1895-1978). In the 1970’s Mokoh found his own style of painting which is renowned for its simplicity, detail and humor.
